Not a big fan of the changes here either. However, I must note that this: "At the same time we added a living element to it with a new LED in the logo middle giving it a “heartbeat” of sorts. It’s functional too, showing the PC’s status of on or in sleep." This feature has always let me distinguish my high-end T420 from other cheaper, worse models which have the ugly red led. With T420 I somewhat feel like this is the last good Thinkpad of the T-series, but of course I am biased.
